Unnatended Installation of Client
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2009 10:56 am
Hi!
We are automating our client roleouts and I am having 2 issues with EPO software.
The first concerns the client portion of Epoline (v4.00)
I am using the MSI and trying to install the client unnatended and quietly, in the background.
msiexec /i "\\fileserver\source$\Epoline\4.0\Client Install\OLF400client.msi" /l c:\epoinstall_log.txt /qn
However, even when giving the /qn switch, it still prompts the desktop session with a window, asking for the server connection information. (Korba/Soap, hostname, port). I wish to suppress this message, the entire installation must complete quietly, without any user interaction required. A followup script copies a pre-configured OLFClient.ini to the "C:\Program Files\EPO_OLF-TC" folder, so during installation the imput can be kept default.
The other issue I am having, though I am not sure I should be asking it here, concerns the Online Multuipay Tool.
The installer for this tool is not an MSI package, but is a self-executing package using Wise. However, the default /q option for Wise self-executing packages does not seem to supress the dialog boxes for this particular install.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
